WT: Ohio Gov. John Kasich’s staff held a “come to Jesus” meeting early Wednesday as reality set in that Donald Trump would be the 45th U.S. commander in chief.
The Buckeye State and its critical 18 electoral votes helped Mr. Trump’s Republican campaign thrash rival Hillary Clinton (279 electoral college votes to 228), despite not having Mr. Kasich’s support. An inside source told The Daily Caller that the billionaire’s stunning victory prompted pleas to cancel an upcoming speech laced with anti-Trump rhetoric.
“The inner circle sat him down and had a come to Jesus talk and got him to cancel the speech,” … more
“speech laced with anti-Trump rhetoric”
just another batch of lies and misrepresentations of the truth.
I doubt even Jesus can save his political career, at least nationally – he signed the pledge and then reneged – consider this the start of the NeverKasich movement
I’d bet dollars to donuts Kasich is trying to game up a plan to get a seat at the table of the Trump administration like the rest of the traitors. I have family that live in Ohio and tell me that Kaisch pissed off a lot of his supporters by being an Hillary sympathizer. Good riddance to him and the other GOPe. You guys made your bed in the dustbin of history, go and lie in it.
It was proven without doubt John Kasich’s intelligence and misguided leadership is sub-par.
The Ohio vote shows the weakness of Kasich as a leader, no one followed, not even his staff and certainly not the loyal party.
Luckily his staff were sharp enough to pull the reigns back on this jackass AFTER Trump Won.
Kasich lacks principle, intelligence, leadership and loyalty. He can’t even read or acknowledge the signs of victory after the battle.
But, have you heard his father was a mailman? LMAO
I used to actually like this guy when he was n Congress and working on trying to cut spending, balance the budget … or his public talking points at the time.
Of course, I also voted for Governor JEB when he ran for Governor… before he turned and put self and family business first. Dittos his brother, who was the best choice for president at the time.
I voted for Little Marco again … save the Senate majority – besides, his opponent was a total ass and we already have Bill Nelson for that part. At least Rubio cancels out Nelson votes. Oh for a repeal of 17th amendment.
Even voted for McCain and Romney when faced with the evil alternative … we kno how they turned out.
Dittos on voting for Dole …at least he supported party nominee.
All in all, the governor of Ohio showed he had the least class of all … including refusing to show up at the RNC convention held in his state.
klueless kasich
The more i see of the anti-republican republicans the more i thank God for saving the USA from certain ruin.
Sundance is right. Trump IS the Tea Party candidate.
whoops. ^^ I meant President Trump.
Take your “come to Jesus” meeting and go to hell.
We’ve got them on the run, now is not the time to let up.
As an Ohioan I am ashamed of our whiny, childish, petulant, dishonorable Governor. He insulted citizens by refusing to attend the Convention in Cleveland. He reneged on his promise. and He was a 4 year old brat having a temper tantrum. The crap is hitting the fan on the cost of his unilateral Medicaid expansion.
The herd of Somali Muslims he brought in are destroying whole neighborhoods in Cleveland, creating more radical mosques, draining welfare and social services with their 12-15 children families and refusal to integrate. The Near North Side of Columbus now has warring Muslim gangs.
Great job Johnny. You are despicable.
Again, who is John Kasich?
Doesn’t matter, John. Ohio spoke, loud and clear. You’re finished.
Also, what Eugenia said.
He’s the guy who claims to be against Trump, but stayed in the race just long enough to deny Cruz the nomination.
He can have his “Come to Jesus” moment, just don’t make me watch him eat dinner with Jesus. The man is a slob, ferchrissake.
I was actually looking forward to this speech. Hoped he did it while eating pizza with a knife and fork and talking with his mouth open and full of food. Come to Jesus – the writing has been on the wall for 18 months.
Governor Goody Two-Shoes represents all that has been wrong with the Oho GOP for years, Taft Jr., Dewine, etc. maybe the folks there can start fresh by getting rid of this crybaby and elect some decent conservative Republicans.

All in all, the governor of Ohio showed he had the least class of all … including refusing to show up at the RNC convention held in his state.
Says it all…..this is a Go to Hell moment for us.
I still laugh when I remember the balloons dropping when he barely won the OH state (R) primary.
With the Republic on the line, he took the Soros money and wouldn’t drop out and give the OH delegates to Trump.
Watching him try to sabotage the election of Trump duly noted.
My punk son would have lost Ohio to Clinton if he were the nominee
John Kasich sniffs airplane glue.
Kasich voted in 2016 for the 2008 Republican candidate…that lost!
‘Nuff said.
kasich is a self loathing sodomite.
Everyone is DC knows he’s been living with a his “friend” for years.
Me too, Eugenia. I haven’t called my representative since the Obamacare fiasco however, when I heard that this jack wagon wrote in his vote for McCain, I had to call Columbus and give his office a piece of my mind. I told the gal I can’t wait til the governor’s race and I can write in John McCain instead of Kasich. I don’t get the impression she was taking me seriously.
Kay’s itch needs to be scratched.
Remember Trump said that Kasich ate like a pig. Well he also grovels like a worm.
venturaguy,
You sayin Kasich is a renegger?
Is that somethin like a cocoon?
Sorry folks – old jokes.
izlamo delenda est …
I have family in NE Ohio. Agree with above sentiment. Not showing at convention was the last straw.
What I said about reaching out to @Nt- that of course does not count for those that actively supported Hillary. He he now wants to be part of the team?
Here is a team position he can fill: make him ambassador to Libya at Benghazi and as a token of our good will we are sending just him. No security team with scary guns to antagonize the natives. If he is willing to sign a doc and make a video explaining he knows what he is doing of his own free will AND he comes back in one piece maybe we can find another job for him in the party but until he atones for his sins go play with the Democrats.
Reneging on a pledge disqualifies one from pretty much every job I can think of.
OH, AND jOHN, i HOPE YOU TOOK NOTE OF THE TRADITIONALLY BLUE COUNTIES OF THE Greater Ohio Valley ALL went red for Trump.
@flip, I noted Lorain County with it’s yuuuuuuge Puerto Rican population went red for the first time in living memory.
More rant on his nonattendance at the Convention. Clevelanders worked hard on producing a great event. We visited downtown to take a look and it was impressive. Reviews from attendees were 100% positive. One of the things noted was the friendliness and helpfulness of Clevelanders. Convention attendees felt welcome and were impressed.
Many said they had heard all the Cleveland jokes and since visiting they wanted to come back with their families.
Kasich, you suck for petulant temper tantrum kid. Not only is it a matter of Ohio pride but it is a matter of bringing more money into the state.
Here’s my wish for you Johnny – get shingles, explosive diarrhea, intense anal itch and knock out migraines all at the same time for eternity.
